Testimonials about MeRT and the Brain Treatment Center (BTC)

BTC is truly a special place filled with incredibly kind people, who all share the same goal of helping improve the lives of every patient. We have witnessed positive changes and miraculous recoveries from friends and family with PTSD, anxiety, and autism. Treatment is non-invasive, scientifically sound, and just plain easy. Highly recommend!” – Adam

“This place is amazing!! We brought our daughter here for an assessment and decided to proceed with treatment. On the EEG we were able to see where there could be improvements – after 2 weeks of treatment another EEG is done so you can compare and contrast to make sure the treatment is working. There is notable improvements in her cognition and her ability to focus at school. The staff is courteous and very friendly. They always make my daughter feel comfortable with treatment. The staff is also very responsive when I had questions. I highly recommend this place!” – Grace H., mother of a child with autism

“I was at the END. BTC gave me a new beginning, a desire to try, and the hope that I could get better. Those things continue to grow as I re-enter life and meet the challenges ahead. There aren’t enough words to adequately express my gratitude, but my hope is that my footsteps and voice can help comfort others and lead them to healing too. Thank you for showing me that I’m not alone. Forever at your service.” – Tait

“The staff, faculty, and overall treatment was excellent!! I really enjoyed the care I received, and I felt better as it progressed through the weeks. I noticed more clarity of thought, confidence, and overall well-being after I completed the program. They even had a veteran meet me the first day.” – Brian M.

“This has absolutely been life-changing for me!” – Scott

Sports Recovery, Treatment for Multiple TBIs

I’m two or three months past my last treatment, and I can honestly say my brain is in a better place than it was before. The emotional highs and lows I was living with have been stabilized. My cognition took off during that period and it hasn’t slowed down since.” – Nick Hardwick (Retired NFL Center, Chargers)

I’m back! My TBI turned me into someone I barely recognized. I was depressed, mean, and short-tempered. And I pushed through life filled with frustration and a deep sense of sadness that this was it. I just had to keep pushing through life with an overwhelming tiredness. I’m so glad I was wrong, and I think my direct reports and family are even more thankful. This treatment changed everything, and I am forever thankful.” – 41-year-old male with TBI, Executive

I had the opportunity to attend the BTC to help with the effects of the TBIs I had endured over the 21 years of military service. And I am absolutely glad I did so. I felt the positive effects of the treatment in the first three days. Before treatment, I had irritability issues — although California traffic will do that to you — and sleeping issues. I started sleeping through the night on day three. And not just sleeping, but sleeping hard and dreaming, so I know I was in REM sleep. It has helped me focus, feel more energetic, less irritable, more caring to others and helped with joint pain and tinnitus. The staff is also very amazing and extremely professional. I highly recommend the BTC. Trust the process and you’ll have the same results as I did.” – Veteran

Testimonials about Our Brain Treatment Center (BTC)

I’d just always ‘outworked’ it. After the last concussion, that wasn’t an option, even though I had previously walked off a dozen concussions. It’s vital to know that not all TBIs result in massive concussions, but they all add to the erosion of the mind and self, if untreated.

“For now, I want to ring the bell for Spencer and Fred and the whole crew at Brain Treatment Center Newport Beach. Through EEG, MeRT, and some subtle sleep and attention shifts, I’ve had a radical, nourishing, strengthening, and dare I say, ‘healing,’ that has brought me to see life through a filter I’ve never known was available.

“Giving life a chance is sometimes just staying in ‘the Try.’ If you are damaged, confused, and at the end, know that you have allies that you’ve never met before.” – Tait F.

MeRT Treatment for Depression

I felt like I was alone, even though I was surrounded by love and care. It was just a cloud that would linger over my life every now and again. BTC helped me better understand what was going on in my head. After a month of treatment, I was grateful to be depression free and medication free for the first time in my life.” – BTC Patient

For anyone suffering from depression, anxiety, and other symptoms, I highly recommend trying MeRT at the Brain Treatment Center. My adult son, who has suffered from both problems his entire life, and has been on medication, realized a positive change after the first visit. We saw dramatic improvement after each visit. This technology is truly a magic bullet for the right candidate. The staff is professional and friendly, and the facilities are equally professional. I would highly recommend The BTC to anyone that can afford the treatments.” – Harold H.

Upon starting treatment I noticed improvement in my sleep almost immediately, which is a miracle in itself. For more than a decade I struggled to fall and stay asleep and when I woke I never felt rested. After a month of treatment I can say that for the first time in a decade that I have gotten solid, consistent, restful, and natural sleep. About halfway through my treatment a proverbial switch was flipped. It’s difficult to explain but I guess the “noise” in my head was silenced. My ability to handle stress and plan for the future improved. I’m also able to respond instead of react, not just physically, but emotionally and mentally as well. I’m not on the edge 24/7.- Billy E.

“I just finished 6 weeks of their specialized form of TMS treatment and it is life changing. If your depression or anxiety have been resistant to medications, therapy or other forms of treatment, I highly recommend the Brain Treatment Center.” – Mary Ann E.

“My experience at the Brain Treatment Center was life changing. I struggled through years of sleeplessness, constant worry, and struggle with everyday life. Halfway through my first treatment plan, my spirit was revived. My loved ones, acquaintances, and people I met started to comment on my positivity and overall demeaner. I went from losing hope, to cherishing every moment. The staff, and team of medical providers are world class. I would urge anyone who is struggling with head injury, depression, PTSD, or any type of psychological struggle(s) to pick up the phone and inquire. Your best days are still to come.” – JG

“MeRT treatment has made a HUGE quality of life positive change for me. I am a vet that got blown up a couple times and suffer from TBI and PTSD. These sessions have turned my life around. My wife notices the positive changes in my depression, anxiety, irritability, and says I am fun to be around again. I can’t say enough great things about this place. Thank God it exists!” – Cyrus B.

Treatment for Severe Sleep Conditions

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia — I’ve had these for over 20 years with severe cognitive deficits and pain that forced me into retirement at age 45. The clinic determined my problem at this point is extremely disordered sleep, which I had thought of as another symptom rather than a cause. After seven weeks of treatment, my sleep began to improve. The fibro pain is completely gone, my memory is better and I’m getting my life back. Of course, I have to do my part to continue to go in the right direction, and yes, it costs money. BUT if this had been available 20 years ago, it still would have been much less costly than 20 years of lost wages and having to drop out of so much of life. Anyone who is struggling with CFS and Fibro should SERIOUSLY consider at least a consultation. I gave up hope a long time ago of ever getting better. I was wrong and the next 20 years are looking so much better than the last. Make the call. Spend the money. You are worth every penny.” – CJS

“My anxiety during the day has improved. Now being awake, I have moments of tremendous peace of mind. At night, I’m sleeping straight through and really waking up rested. I recommend you visit them and start with an electroencephalogram. From there they will explain the current state of your brain, great scientific treatment! Many thanks to ALL the team at BTC.” – MdC

“Wow! I heard about the results other people had, and I was both skeptical and hopeful. Lucky for me, I, too, achieved spectacular results. The entire team, throughout the entirety of the treatment, was so welcoming and encouraging. They were helpful and friendly, always greeting me with a smile and eager to assist with answers to any questions or matters concerning scheduling. Upon starting treatment, I noticed an improvement in my sleep almost immediately, which is a miracle in itself. For more than a decade, I struggled to fall and stay asleep, and when I woke, I never felt rested. After a month of treatment, I can say that for the first time in a decade, I have gotten solid, consistent, restful, and natural sleep. About halfway through my treatment, a proverbial switch was flipped. It’s difficult to explain, but I guess the ‘noise’ inside my head was silenced. My ability to handle stress and plan for the future improved. I’m also able to respond instead of react, not just physically but emotionally and mentally as well. I’m not on the edge 24/7 anymore.” – BE

PTSD Treatment

It was absolutely terrifying to not know what was wrong with me or how to fix the problem. BTC not only identified the deteriorated state of my brainwave activity, they restored its function. I consider the healing I experienced at BTC to be nothing short of a miracle.” – US Army Veteran

“So far I am feeling calmer and more focused than before the treatment. I have not run into many triggers yet, so I haven’t put the results achieved to this point to a full test, but I am confident things will go more smoothly when I do. I’m also looking forward to seeing how the results continue to develop over the near term. Overall, I am thankful to be able to take advantage of this therapy and believe it was a good choice for me.” – Lane S.

“Of all my injuries, by far the worst were the ones you could not see. I had degraded to the point of not being able to leave my home because of panic attacks and severe anxiety. I could not hide from this feeling, and no mediation could numb it. I told my doctor at one point I couldn’t kill myself because I have a family with young children that I am responsible for. I was living in despair and physical pain every day without reprieve, that is until I was able to get treatment. I underwent neural restorative therapy for two months with total symptom resolution. I can function again at work, and can spend much needed time with my family. I have my sense of well-being back and a clarity of thought I haven’t had in many years.” – Army Veteran

“Within 4 days of being treated, I was sleeping the night. My anger had subsided significantly, & I was smiling & enjoying things again. I was able to focus & concentrate on information much more efficiently & easily, & did not get lost in conversation as I had prior to coming to BTC. My chronic headaches had ceased, my balance was returning, & my ringing in my ears, (tinnitus) had also ceased.” – Marine EOD Tech

“Combat has robbed me of the ability to show my husband spontaneous affection. My husband’s PTSD is so severe that if I reach for him, he flinches. He swings at me & pushes & has actually smacked me. I have not been able to go up behind him & put my arms around him for 7 years. I was finally able to for the first time yesterday, after only 2 days of treatment. I actually walked up behind him & he didn’t jump or flinch as I hugged him. He instead, turned around & hugged me tight, kissed me & said, ‘ I love you, love.’ He’s usually never affectionate, loving or happy towards me. That’s a miracle.” – Wife of Marine Veteran who suffered TBI

“The experience I had at BTC was nothing short of a miracle for me. The treatment I received has completely changed my life for the better. I was able to reset my circadian rhythm & sleep through the night without medication. My nightmares became few and far between. My anxiety lessened almost immediately & I became able to do the things I used to enjoy like going to the gym, cooking & reading. I became able to focus my attention again & my mood lightened a lot. My fiancé & family immediately noticed the change in me & said that it was like they had gotten their ‘old’ Sarah back.” – Army Veteran

“We have seen dramatic change in Alex. He is so calm, happy & positive. He wakes more alert. The man I knew was inside of him has finally come out. We are so much closer as a couple and the relationship with our kids and him is so much more functional. The VA has treated him for the past 6 years and he’s undergone so much individual and group therapy, but it has NEVER had this positive effect on him. I will forever be grateful.” – Wife of Army Veteran

“With being diagnosed with PTSD, depression and anxiety by the Veterans Affairs, the calm and welcoming environment is important. The treatment makes me sleep longer and deeper than before treatment. My ‘dark feelings’ fade away. I feel happy and calm.” – Sean K.

“The MeRT treatment has made a HUGE quality of life positive change for me. I am a vet that got blown up a couple times and suffer from TBI and PTSD. These sessions have turned my life around. My wife notices the positive changes in my depression, anxiety, irritability, and says I am fun to be around again. I can’t say enough great things about this place.” – Cyrus B.

Patient George Nacker Discusses His Results After Going Through Treatment for PTSD

After returning from Iraq, Sgt. Jon Warren struggled with PTSD. He sought various forms of treatment to improve his mental health to no avail. Then he found the Brain Treatment Center.

When I came in, I was a mess. I was terrified of not getting better, of trying yet another very hopeful procedure that was going to let me down. So I sat down and had my EEG, and I remember waiting for the doctor to interpret it and thinking, ‘What if this thing comes back normal — then what? Where do I go from here?’ That was scary.

“But as soon as he pulled it up, he said, ‘Whoa, it looks like your frontal cortex is sleeping right now.’ And he started describing a lot of my symptoms.

“They were going to use magnetic stimulation to tune my brain back up, to get my frequencies right in my head, and to allow my brain to communicate with itself. I didn’t notice much for about two weeks. Then I sat down to have a drink with a buddy, and we usually went to drink a handle of rum together. After the first cocktail, he went to pour another one, and I told him, ‘I’m okay right now,’ which was shocking even to me because that wasn’t my norm.

“The next day, I went to the Brain Treatment Center, and instead of leaving after my 30-minute treatment, I decided to stick around for another 30 minutes. In doing so, I realized that I was able to be in connection with people. I sat down, and I was calm and present, and centered for the first time. I was actually able to hear people speaking, and my mind wasn’t racing. And I was able to keep track of the conversation that was happening and give feedback and contribute. I actually enjoyed it — I felt connected, and it was very addicting to me, and I wanted more of that feeling.”
